 yellow, 71/; to' T-Vi inches long, 7%to 1% inches in circumference. Inclined to be rough. 

 Cobs smaH, deep red color. Kernels very deep. Rather inclined to spread at top, and 

 to be loose on the cob. This corn was orig-inatod in Cooper county by John Gartner about 

 forty years ago This corn won a gold raedal at the World's Fair, St. Louis. At the 

 State Corn Show in 1904, it made a higher per cent of shelled corn than any other variety 

 exhibited, testing 90.3 ner cent shelled corn. Mr. R. B. Johnston of Cooper county reports 

 a yield in 1904 on one acre of SO bushels and 25 pounds, which is an excellent yield for 

 so unfavorable a season. This corn is increased somewhat in size will no doubt make 

 an excellent variety for medium uplands soils.
